Hello!

thank you for your fast response! In fact, after i updated macports and also the software installed with it (including octave -->3.8.2), the problem with the keyboard and the message disappeared! :)

Thank you again!

Hi,

Thanks for your bug report. I currently don't have a mac to actually test it, but the issue with non-responding arrow keys should have been fixed for the recent 3.8.2 release (see bug #41337). Can you upgrade octave and report back on that issue? It looks like Macports has a port for 3.8.2 [1].

Now about the warning you see before the normal octave startup message, I don't remenber having ever seen this message. Again if you can upgrade and confirm you always see the warning, I'll re-title this bug to make it clear what issue we are talking about in this particular report.

Octave has problems to recognize my keyboard or at least, elements of it.

for instance, move to left or right is not recognized or does not show any reaction when tiping it.

space, delete, and the characters work fine.

I get also a message (which is maybe related to this):

Warning: QObject::connect: Cannot connect main_window::set_widget_shortcuts_signal (bool) to (null)::set_shortcuts (bool)
